A short time ago, I read Melanie Phillips book, The World Turned Upside Down. The following is from a recent article that is, in part, based on the book.

1. "Remarkably, in our modern world supposedly dominated by reason, primitive religions and paganism are enjoying a renaissance. The fastest growing religious category in America is witchcraft and paganism .One contributing factor to this trend is the rise in another cause célèbre of the intelligentsia: environmentalism.

2. God was dead, apparently; and yet secular progressives were seeking spiritual expression by going backwards in time to the paganism that had preceded the Hebrew Bible and Christianitytexts which they called reactionary, [Melanie] Phillips writes [in The World Turned Upside Down]. They rejected and attacked the male God revealed in Scripture in favor of Mother Earth and varying versions of female-dominated spiritualism.

3. The nature-worship that feeds and informs the environmental movement is the heretical notion that the greatest enemies of the planet are human beings. Environmentalisms most extreme proponents are not content with antipollution efforts, for example; they advocate a revolutionary return to hunter-gatherer primitivism. Some have compared humans to an infectious disease, a cancer on the planet. Valuing humans over other animals is branded as speciesism, a sin as unforgivable as racism or sexism, if not more so. Paul Watson, who founded Greenpeace and directs the Sierra Club, said that earthworms are far more valuable than people, and the world will be a much nicer place without us.

4. Unsurprisingly, many of them are big believers in population-control methods like compulsory sterilization and abortion. Even John Holdren, adviser to President Barack Obama and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, wrote a book in 1977 approving of these despotic policies.

5. These [views] represent a fundamental hostility to reason. Yet they are manifestly present in the supposedly irreproachable, objective realm of science: Consider the evidence-defying, data-manipulating commitment to the man-made global warming doctrine and the impassioned vilification of skeptics; or the blacklisting and excommunication of scientists The&#8232; Upside-Down World | theTrumpet.com by the Philadelphia Church of God

Typical con trick. Find the most out-there types and make them out to be typical. While many of the things mentioned have happened from time to time, saying that those are mainstream opinions is FRAUD!!!

a. One spin-off of the Enlightenment was the desire to find new myths that would transcend daily existence and take one to a higher level of purification. Proto-fascist, and founder of ecology, Ernst Haeckel, invested nature-worship with the belief that all matter was alive and possessed mental attributes. In monism, he brought together hostility to Christianity and propaganda for Darwinism, a nature cult and theories of hygiene and selective breeding. J.W. Burrow, The Crisis of Reason: European Thought, 1848-1914, p. 218-19

b. In 1867 the German zoologist Ernst Haeckel coined the term 'ecology'
and began to establish it as a scientific discipline dedicated to studying
the interactions between organism and environment. Haeckel believed in nordic racial superiority, strenuously opposed race mixing and enthusiastically supported racial
eugenics. Haeckel contributed to that special variety of German
thought which served as the seed bed for National Socialism. He
became one of Germany's major ideologists for racism, nationalism
and imperialism he fulminated in antisemitic tones played a
key role in the establishment of the Nazi movement. Eco Fascism / Fascist Ideology : the Green Wing of the Nazi Party and Its Historical Antecedents by Peter Staudenmaier

Has it every entered your consciousness that the other side may just be correct, and you have been misled by dogma and ideology...?

Progressivism and existentialism are not the same thing. To imply otherwise is a sign of low IQ.

So sorry that you are having so much trouble understanding the post...must be that low IQ to which you allude.

I strongly suggest that you not pick up Phillips' book, as it will leave you feeling even more inadequate.

Evasion and ad homs. Just your style- kinda like when you said that saying America was united by a common spirit and not just paper meant someone wanted to throw away the Constitution completely.
